Chinese company Huawei has just announced the upcoming availability of two new smartphones for the Indian market, the Honor 4X and Honor 6 Plus. Both smartphones have been released in China last year and will make their debut in India in April.

However, customers will be able to pre-order the Honor 4X and Honor 6 Plus beginning today from Huawei's official website. Only a limited number of devices will be available during Huawei's flash sale, so make sure you pre-order the smartphones as soon as they go live. Huawei Honor 4X is a mid-range Android smartphone and customers can purchase it for only Rs 10,499 outright, which is about $170 or €155. On the other hand, Huawei Honor 6 Plus is a high-end handset, so those who want to go for it will have to come up with Rs 26,499 upfront, which is about $425 or €390. It's also worth mentioning that both Huawei smartphones offer dual-SIM support and they both ship with Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system with Emotion 3.0 UI on top.

The Honor 6 Plus might eventually get an Android 5.0 Lollipop update at some point, but there's no confirmation yet. The mid-range Honor 4X is less likely to get the upgrade.

Both smartphones come with large 5.5-inch displays

Moving on to specs, Huawei Honor 4X sports a large 5.5-inch IPS LCD display that supports HD (720p) resolution. It also packs a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, as well as a secondary 5-megapixel camera in the front. The Honor 4X is powered by a 64-bit quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.2GHZ, 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory that can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD card. Huawei Honor 6 Plus features a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution. It also comes equipped with a much better octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 925 processor, which is complemented by 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory.

The smartphone is packed with dual 8-megapixel cameras on the back that feature dual-LED flash, autofocus and full HD (1080p) video recording. There's also a secondary 8-megapixel camera in the front for video calls and great selfies.
